Professor Loeb is one of the most beautiful souls I've met. this man made me wanna learn econometrics. he gives great lectures and is soo funny. he drops the biggest dad jokes here and there and is very consistent with them. I never missed a single class. if you try just a bit and visit office hours he will make sure you pass!

Great professor with a very funny sense of humor. Class itself is difficult but he tries to make it as simple as possible. IMO I find his teaching style much more effective than the book, however the book is still pretty helpful for his exams. Take him! Hes a very caring and approachable guy, always willing to help his students

Prof. Loeb tries hard to make a difficult subject easy to understand. Come to class because all his test are from there. Miss class and you will be lost. He knows who doesn's show up so if you need help he will have little time for you if you have never showed up. Fell free to ask questions he will answer them without being cruel as some Prof. are.

Take his stats methods class. You will NOT regret it. He is awesome and teaches the content very well. He also does a review session (IN CLASS) before gives an exam. Also those review problems are similar to the ones on the exam. Exams are mostly multiple choice with 1-3 questions that you do on your own.

Take his class! He's the best professor in the entire department. I came in before expecting the class to be difficult but while the course load is pretty hefty he makes it easy to understand. I generally pay attention in lectures, practice the problems after class and go to his office hours from time to time. Allows cheat sheets on exams.

Comment:

Great prof! Don't hesitate to take him. The key to pass is going to the lectures, writing/practicing his problems, and going to the TA's review sessions. Although the book provides different types of problems, it's good that you read the chapters before the exam bc he includes theoretical questions.

Comment:

All of the three exams are weighted the same and theres a curve. No hw, attendance isn't mandatory, but if you don't come to class then don't expect to do well. Take advantage of his office hours and go to TA review sessions bc he basically gives you the same problems. Don't only focus on the formulas, read the textbook and understand the concepts.

Comment:

Loeb is a wonderful professor and an even better person. His lectures are educational and fun at the same time. In class he goes over questions that are almost identical to the ones on his exams and he lets you bring in a double-sided formula/note sheet for each exam.

Loeb is a great guy. His lectures are some of the best I've ever seen, he tries his best to get the whole class to pay attention. He also makes a lot of corny jokes too, so get ready to roll your eyes. His exams are easy, he lets you bring a cheat sheet to each one. Study for a few hours and write down his examples from the review and you'll pass.

Very approachable, easy to understand, and funny to boot Professor Loeb's class was the best experience I had in Rutgers thus far. His lectures are crystal clear as he explains the concepts in an understandable way and he provides many different examples on how to do problems in class. He also allows you to bring a cheat sheet on all exams too!!

He is hands down the best professor at Rutgers, such a genuine & caring professor. He is more than willing to help you if you go to his office hours. It is a challenging class if you don't study or understand the material but Loeb is there for you, so take advantage of his office hrs! He's awesome & a funny guy too.

Really funny professor. Homework is optional and there are no assignments. All he does is give lecture and do problems on the board. The key to pass is to study the material he writes on the board. He lets you use a cheat sheet to make sure to put all formulas in there. You are only graded on exams, they are heavy, but really easy if you study

Comment:

The course itself is generally difficult. If you decide to take Loeb make sure you get a seat in the front and pay attention because he can be very boring, writes small on the board, and covers a lot of information that he assumes u read. Exams you can use a cheat sheet and attendance is not mandatory but it requires effort to do well in his class

Good professor. Econometrics is a difficult subject but Loeb explains all the material clearly and makes it understandable. He spends a good portion of the lecture doing proofs of equations which you dont need to understand and will not be on the tests or homework. If you take good notes during the review before the exams, you will be fine.

Professor Loeb is the best. I had him for stats and choose him for Econometrics. He explains things in a very clear way so that you can understand. He's my favorite professor at Rutgers y far. Oh and he loves all the Deans!

I went into this class already expecting to have a difficult semester, I have never done extraordinary in math related classes. I was wrong. He is one of the greatest math instructors I've ever had. He had a way of making concepts extremely clear and cut. He gives you the steps, you just follow. He lets you use notes on the quizzes. Love him.

He doesn't take attendance but you wouldn't pass the class without going. The book isn't enough, it's easier when someone breaks it down for you. He provides many examples when students ask and he has been one of my favorite professors so far. Despite my grade.
